A manufacturer claims that the average lifetime of its lightbulbs is equal to 36 months. A random sample of 64 bulbs has a mean lifetime of 32 months, and the sample standard deviation is 11 months. We will be using a z-test for the population mean at α = 0.05 to check the manufacturer’s claim.
The alternative hypothesis is:
HA: μ < 36
HA: μ > 36
HA: μ = 36
HA: μ ≠ 36

HA: μ ≠ 36
